We are called by God through the Holy Spirit and the love of Christ to worship and serve the Lord.

Fr. Peter Doddema, Rector

Welcome!

Welcome to the St. Philip’s Episcopal Church website. We hope this site will help you learn more about us and our witness for Christ. We strive to recognize and nurture
the Christ in ourselves and each person that we encounter along the way. Our church is a thriving community of believers, and lovers of the word of God. St. Philip's has a long tradition of outreach
and service to its members and the community. We hope you will join us for Holy Eucharist on Sunday to experience for yourself the fellowship of Christ. We also invite you to participate in our many
parish ministries.

"Come as you are; leave a little different."

Upcoming
Events

NA Addiction and Family Resource Group

St. Philip’s will host an NA group on Tuesdays at 6:00 PM beginning February 6. The group will meet in the Parish Hall and will be facilitated by Marty Gray. Though there are NA groups in
Lexington, there are currently none in Mercer County, and this causes a major gap in the services available to people jere who wish to maintain their sobriety and help others become drug-free as
well. The group is named the Addiction and Family Resource Group. It will meet weekly at 6 pm in the Parish Hall. For more information on NA, visit their web
site. All interested persons are invited to attend the meetings, and everyone is asked to remember this ministry in your prayers.

New Vestry Members

At the Annual Parish Meeting in November, two new Vestry members were elected to three-year terms beginning January 1, 2018. The parish elected Kathy Dedman and Kristie Jones. The Senior Warden
for 2018 is Vicki Mackey and Greg Yankey will serve as the Junior Warden.

Recurring
Events

Service of Reflection & Dialogue every Wednesday at 6:30 PM:This is a casual interactive service. Fr. Peter has a short sermon followed by a time to
reflect, respond, and discuss. It is a very relaxed and supportive service with time to listen as well as time to speak about life's concerns. Please join us for a quieter, contemplative time of
worship, prayer, and healing.

Children and Youth Education. St. Philip's offers two unique wonderful children's education programs.The first Sunday of the month, Kids remain and serve in church. Music, Art and Bible
lessons occur on the 2nd and 4th Sundays in the CER Youth Center located next door to the church bldg. Our families meet in the church and our children lead us into worship. Then children walk
with a guide to the CER bldg, and return to the church at the Offertory to be with their families for the Eucharist. Godly Play is offered on the second and fourth Sundays of each month for children
who are preschool age through 4th grade Elementary School. Godly Play is the sacred space for children to explore the stories of our faith. Beth Pritchett is a certified teacher in the Godly Play
curriculum, and she openly and warmly invites all age-appropriate children to this beautiful introduction to experiencing the mystery of God in our lives.

Nursery is available for
children under 4yrs. every Sunday.

trust, that we may live as witnesses to you. May the Holy Spirit lead us to the service you would have us do, as servants of Christ Jesus our Lord, in whose name we pray. Amen.
